Women in Real Estate 2019: Basis’ Tammy Jones Stresses Diversity in the Company’s Portfolio and Team

Tammy Jones is co-founder and CEO of Basis Investment Group, a diversified CRE investment platform that invests and lends across the capital stack in debt and equity. Over the course of 10 years, Basis has closed approximately $4 billion in debt and equity transactions across the U.S.

Already an accomplished CRE finance executive prior to launching Basis, Jones has completed transactions in nearly all 50 states and worked with leading institutional investors across the globe. This has been achieved thanks to hard work and an ability to identify demand generators in a wide range of markets.

These are just a couple of the reasons we chose Jones as one of the 2019 Women in Real Estate Award winners. Connect Media’s Women in Real Estate Awards honor the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected positions of leadership and play key mentorship roles for others.

Basis regularly recruits and is able to retain top talent from larger institutions attracted to Jones’ investment philosophy, production and management style. The firm’s secret sauce is an emphasis on diversification across its portfolio and team composition.

A certified MWOB, Basis makes investments that span property types and are managed by a team with an exceptionally wide range of backgrounds and viewpoints. Under Jones’ leadership and direction, the Basis team is currently 77% comprised of women and minorities, and actively promotes opportunities and education in real estate with underrepresented groups through the Basis Impact Group Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Jones.
